Posted by: Sandee

INGREDIENTS
2 cups cubed fully cooked ham
...4 cups cubed cooked turkey (I used chicken)
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1 large onion, chopped
1/3 cup butter or margarine
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon ground mustard
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg (I omitted)
1 3/4 cups milk

TOPPING:
1 1/2 cups soft bread crumbs (I used club cracker crumbs)
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted (I used 2 tbsp)

DIRECTIONS
In a nonstick skillet, sauté ham for 4-5 minutes or until browned; drain and pat dry. In a greased 2-qt. baking dish, layer the turkey, cheese and ham; set aside.
In a saucepan, sauté the onion in butter until tender. Stir in the flour, mustard and nutmeg until blended. Gradually stir in milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Pour over ham. Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over the top. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.

I added sliced mushrooms (about 8 oz) to the sautéed onions. I also did added about 1/4 cup cheddar cheese instead of the 1/2 cup swiss to the topping mix.
